I've often wondered about this kit. I will be watching with much interest regardless of how long it takes you.

I wish you well on your build.

Looks really good so far, incredibly clean and tight. I know what you mean about build threads, they actually kind of scare me.

Finished the rear interior of the Bradley. Not very difficult.... most of the details on the seats will not be seen once the rest of the framework is added.

This is shaping up to be an enoyable build.... Most of the issues I have had with the instructions are mainly due to lack of Polish skills and that the drawings are all over the place (looking for the next drawing is a challenge in itself!).

Looking VERY good!
Looks just how I remember the interior.
Can't wait for more progress reports.
Thanks

Another update. With the interior finished, time to build the rest of the framework. The first photo is the ceiling of the interior. Forgot to take pictures of the other two sections. Too bad, since it will be the only way to see most of the details.

The next two are of the entire framework done.

And a shot of the interior from the rear:

Really sweet, too bad all those guys are going to dirty up the interior with their muddy boots.

Another update. Put the skin on. No real problems, fit was good... In fact all my fit issues are due to my stupidity rather than the kit.

A lot of small things to put on the outside... I am pretty much following along with the instruction drawings and going numerical.... Did make one mistake that is most likely unrecoverable at this point, but I don't see it as a big deal (didn't understand the drawing). I will point it out in a future update....
